Time for Time Conservation. CFL watches. Um...Ration stamps for sand. What about alternative time sources?

I tend to agree with him. The nice thing is that if time grinds to a halt, we’ll never know it. But I think time stopping is very far from here.

"Then everything will be frozen, like a snapshot of one instant, forever,"

Crap! With my luck I'll be at work when this happens instead of doing something fun

I've been saving time for ages now and have quite a collection. If you'd like, you can send me $20 and when time stops, I will send you five minutes of the time I have saved. Not a lot, but it might be enough time for you to find a comfortable way to sit, or maybe get out of the sun while time is not moving.

Is time real? Does it flow only in one direction ? Does it have a beginning or an end? What is eternity?

God said in his word that he would speed things up near the end.
"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the Elect's sake those days shall be shortened" (Matthew 24:22).

CFL watches.

I couldn't find any CFL watches, but I found a CFL clock.

Hope you like punting on third down.

Theoretical physicists -- who haven't spent a day in the lab -- are total idiots. Couldn't agree with you more. Just like that clown Einstein. Lots of guesses, sure, but otherwise total idiocy...
